This cemetery, whose name means "Cemetery of High Crosses," has been a place of burial since the 1680's. However, the part of the cemetery that is not destroyed and thus worthwhile to see still today, is the entrance. The architecture is an example of neo-classicism and thus a good example of what Portuguese architecture looked like in the late 1800's. An inscription above the entrance suggest that it as built in 1895.

The cemetery was built for the upper-class, but today it is officially available to the entire population of Luanda.
